Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: git

an...@omaplbp:~$ lsb_release -rd
Description:    Ubuntu 10.10
Release:        10.10

an...@omaplbp:~$ apt-cache policy git
git:
  Installed: 1:1.7.1-1.1
  Candidate: 1:1.7.1-1.1
  Version table:
 *** 1:1.7.1-1.1 0
        500 http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

(The issue also exists with a freshly compiled from source git version
1.7.3.2)

On a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.10 + updates to all packages, I tried to run
   git config --global user.name="Anand Gadiyar"

followed by
   git config -l

This failed with the error "fatal: error processing config file(s)".

I see that no ~/.gitconfig is created.

Running the first command with strace gives the log below.

an...@omaplbp:~$ strace git config --global user.name="Anand Gadiyar"

Gadiyar"], [/* 25 vars */]) = 0
